I know of Mario, and I know of one other Canadian who has expressed
interest. Curious, are there other Canadians here interested in discussing
books? Should it be online since there are few of us over a large area? Are
others interested in an online discussion, even if it's posted on the site
somehow rather than in the mailing list? Or are people happy discussing
books right on the list? Thoughts?

Dan Goldman presents some interesting research on interactive to video
editing from Adobe and the University of Washington; "Our system
analyzes videos using computer vision techniques, enabling interactive
annotation, browsing, and even drag-and-drop composition of new still
images using video footage."http://vimeo.com/2345579

After a successful first meeting of New Mexico IxDA, we decided to
have another meetup on December 9th at 5:30pm at Chama River Brewing
(http://www.chamariverbrewery.com/). We wanted to meet before the
madness of the upcoming holidays and also while we have some forward
momentum. Hope to see you there.

if you are interested in getting to know some of the finest coming
Master graduates in HCI and Interaction Design, then this event is for
you!!

*** The Indiana University School of Informatics is hosting CONNECT 09
on January 22 & 23 for the HCI Design program.

The goal of this event is for user experience design managers and team
members to experience HCI Design Grad students and faculty; how they
think, create, design, etc. It may also be a key 'relational inroad'
for recruiting interns and full-time employees from our program.
